"Meghan being all in white – you wear white to unclutter your mind, to show that you have a clear mind and that you know yourself," she explained.
"To wear white, you've got to have a lot of confidence you know. You're not hiding anything – you want to show purity. It's a very brave move to put an all-white outfit on."
In terms of branding, Tash explained why outfit colour choices are particularly influential: "Colour by the way is the first thing that we see, so before you take on, let's say the shape of an object. The colour is the first thing that we interact with so that's where it could be so powerful when it comes to branding."

Meghan recently addressed her approach to dressing when she confessed to having previously opted for muted beige and even brown tones during her time as a working royal - in order to avoid colour clashing with Princess Kate and the Queen.

Meghan spoke about how she had previously been so keen to "blend in" and not "stand out" against more senior members of the royal family. When the 41-year-old joined the royals for her first Christmas with Harry at Sandringham in 2017, she wore an ensemble consisting of warm brown and beige hues.
